If you’re standing on the MARTA plaza Saturday night and suddenly those towering “Beacons of Teal” go dark, do not fear.  It’s not the Apocalypse.

It’s just Earth Hour!

Over on The Decatur Minute, Cheryl details the city’s plans…

The City of Decatur is participating in Earth Hour on Saturday, March 27 from 8:30 until 9:30 pm. Cities and states across the country are joining together to raise awareness and demonstrate our nation’s commitment to fighting climate change by joining Earth Hour. The City of Decatur will turn off the lights in City Hall as well as on the MARTA Plaza to show support for this global initiative.

Businesses:  anyone have plans the public should be aware of?  Residents:  what do you do when you unplug during Earth Hour?

Judy writes in with some kind words and wonders what downtown Decatur and its restaurants are doing for Earth Hour this Saturday (3/28) at 8:30p.

Well, the city recently posted its plans for the hour over on The Decatur Minute…

The City of Decatur has signed up to participate and will turn off lights on the MARTA Plaza as well as non-essential lighting in city buildings.

But I haven’t heard or seen anything about downtown business participation.  Anyone out there with a plan?

Perhaps an hour of mandated candlelight dinners?
